From the Royal Albert Hall, London (Tickets may be obtained from the Royal Albert Hall or usual agents)
Our grandfathers regarded Brahms as a ' difficult ' composer, whose appeal was to the intellect rather than to the emotions; nowadays we can only wonder how such an idea arose, especially in view of a work like the third symphony. In this master-piece. written when he was fifty, Brahms, the poet of nature, runs through the whole gamut of contrasting emotions aroused by the spectacle of high summer turning into autumn. We hear the unrest of the wild
West wind ' in the first movement, see the peace of sunlit fields in the second, and feel the melancholy of misty evenings in the third; in the finale, winter storms seem not far off, but the horn strikes a bucolic note. and the symphony ends after all in a golden glow. Deryck Cooke

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
